Tiger was also greedy. They were all teenagers who didn't have enough to eat, and they had never tasted such good food before Simple came.
Having tried it, I'm even more craving it now.
However, these children don't have the habit of grabbing things when they see something nice. They may be messy and immature, but they still have the basic manners.
It doesn't annoy people.
For that reason alone, Jian Dan is willing to give him some consideration.
"Let's go, let's go!"
In just a short while, the gauze on Jian Xin's hand had changed color. Seeing Jian Dan go into the house, she felt a little guilty and thought that if she called her friends in, her sister might not be able to find out.
So they were treated with exceptional enthusiasm.
A group of children quickly filled the small room, and Mingzhu didn't have time to think about anything else, so she quickly helped pour water for the children.
"How much ginger and brown sugar did you put in?"
The pungent smell of ginger made Mingzhu frown.
Simplicity also has its reasons.
"Too little ginger won't dispel the cold, and too little sugar won't taste good."
Mingzhu didn't argue with her about it; no matter what, she would have a reason.
After drinking the sweet ginger water, the children's foreheads were covered in thick beads of sweat. They definitely couldn't go out now; if they went out and were exposed to a breeze, they would surely catch a cold. They had to wait until the sweat had stopped before going out.
Anyway, the room was warm, and Jian Dan didn't intend to get involved with them, otherwise they would feel uncomfortable. So she simply took a plate of melon seeds and a plate of fruit candies, told Hu Zi to keep an eye on them, and led Mingzhu out of the west room.
"Hey kid, why don't you come over here right now so I can see you? Where are you hiding?"
Jian Dan was so angry she almost laughed. This kid really thought she couldn't see anything, and she was hiding behind the other kids.
Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, the little girl shuffled over step by step, giggling ingratiatingly.
"elder sister,"
"You still remember I'm your sister? Why are you hiding so far away?"
It obediently stretched out its two black claws.
"It's dark."
Jian Dan's face darkened. She didn't see what the girl was doing; she was just clapping her hands, and it made such a mess.
External wounds heal quickly. The medicine Grandpa Liu applied yesterday scabbed over overnight. Mingzhu came over to look and was quite distressed.
"This place is so badly damaged! That Tang Cui is a complete lunatic, taking her anger out on a child!"
I carefully applied the medicine again and blew on it to dry it.
"I'm not covering it up for you this time. You better watch out, or it'll get serious. You might end up with a huge scar, and it'll look awful."
The little girl was still young, and after being frightened like that, she became very obedient; she was almost crying and kept waving her hands.
"I won't touch it, I won't touch it, I don't want to get a scar."
After quickly packing up his things, he felt smug. "You little brat, you think I can't mess with you?"
"Tang Cui didn't fare well either; she was bitten by Ruyi and the others. Let her rest for a while, and when I've got the skills, I'll make sure she won't dare close her eyes at night."
Mingzhu believed this. After spending so much time together, she could tell that Jian Dan wasn't a pushover. It was just that Jian Dan hadn't offended her, or rather, hadn't crossed her bottom line, so she didn't care much.
But this time it's clear that Tang Cui's actions went far beyond simply crossing the line. Such a young child, yet she used such force; the villagers would probably all avoid her.
After all, you see each other all the time. If this happened to your own child, who could stand it?
"Okay, as long as you know what you're doing. Just tell us if you need anything, don't be shy. Lin Dongfang may not be good at other things, but he's quite skilled. It's not difficult for him to pull off some tricks."
After exchanging a few words, they changed the subject. The little girl, her ointment dried, eagerly ran over to join in the fun. Finally, after much persuasion, she managed to find a nose and eyes for the snowman, and the group of children happily went to finish making the snowman's head.
Tiger was about the same height as Jian Dan, and the finished snowman was about the same height, with a big body and a big head.
Its nose is a thin carrot, its eyes are two smooth chestnuts, and its head is covered with a large hat made of several corn husks, on which is a small, hard snowball. The corn husks on the husks even have hair.
The children kept their word, and the huge snowman was indeed placed at the front door of the house. Its size really made it look like a dutiful gatekeeper, guarding the door.
When Tiger stood on the other side, it was simply amazing.
Tiger has a large frame, and whether he's fat or thin, he looks very strong. He and the snowman are a perfect match.
Mingzhu's eyes widened the moment she saw it, and she gestured with her hands, pointing to the snowman and the tiger.
"Who is this? This is amazing! If you look at it from a distance, it looks like two different people."
My goodness, that's easy. If it were nighttime, two shadows that big would make your house very safe.
However, this height,
Mingzhu gestured again, somewhat puzzled.
"Why do I feel like this height is modeled after yours?"
Jian Dan's face immediately darkened. So, this height thing is going to be a point of contention?
However, it must be said that these kids are really well done, and she can't honestly say they're bad.
Aside from the height difference, she was quite pleased to have a new doorman at the entrance, and even gave him a thumbs-up and a few words of praise.
"Awesome! My safety this winter is no longer a problem."
Tiger and his group of little kids grinned from ear to ear. Rural children are tough, and with so many kids, their parents aren't always very attentive.
In addition, parents at that time mostly used corporal punishment, and it was almost a one-man rule, unlike modern times where it is more humane and involves discussion.
Being praised is extremely rare, very rare indeed.
I drank some sweet soup today, and my mouth felt wonderfully sweet. Then I got praised a lot, and I was so happy I didn't know what to say. I immediately started making promises...
"Sister Jane, do you like it?"
This was a simple matter that couldn't be lied about, so he nodded immediately.
"You put so much effort into making it, and it's so good, of course I like it."
A group of children were chattering happily.
"Sister, let us build a few more for you, all piled up like this, big ones, to guard your house."
"Yes, yes, sister, we'll make it look really nice. Just wait, we'll get started right away."
Tiger, the eldest, was also very excited. It was rare to get to do something for Sister Jian, so he was full of enthusiasm.
"Yes, yes, let's start now. Sisters, step back a bit, don't get covered in snow."
"Hey, here I come, I'm going to go over there and make a big snowball."
"Then I'll go and get the little one. Gulu will come over later and be your head. I'll make sure Gulu is round and round."
"Alright, alright, let's all do a good job. If we put up ten or eight big snowmen in front of Sister Jian's house, no one will dare to bully Sister Jian."
